tipc: simplify print buffer handling in tipc_printf
tipc_printf was previously used both to construct debug traces and to append data to buffers that should be sent over netlink to the tipc-config application. A global print_buffer was used to format the string before it was copied to the actual output buffer. This could lead to concurrent access of the global print_buffer, which then had to be lock protected. This is simplified by changing tipc_printf to append data directly to the output buffer using vscnprintf. With the new implementation of tipc_printf, there is no longer any risk of concurrent access to the internal log buffer, so the lock (and the comments describing it) are no longer strictly necessary. However, there are still a few functions that do grab this lock before resizing/dumping the log buffer. We leave the lock, and these functions untouched since they will be removed with a subsequent commit that drops the deprecated log buffer handling code Signed-off-by: Erik Hugne <erik.hugne@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
